Kick Ass was a terrible movie with brain dead writing. It's sad enough people watched it to warrant a sequel. Then again, given the audience size 'Jersey Shore' attracted I suppose the average people today's society are getting dumber--and this movie was made for that very demographic.
Later said by Stan Lee: "Ain't no queer gonna be Spider-man. If that kid wants wang in his mouth fine but he ain't Spidey."
The character was created as a straight male. Why make him gay? Bloody tired of the gay agenda being forced on everyone. Want a gay super hero? Make one. He can join Aquaman. Christ. "Sorry Mary Jane, your puss is wack; Spidey wants dong now."
